"How people act and dress?" That's just personality, or sexual expression. A woman expressing some masculine traits is still female.

Most people reference sex and gender as synonyms (when not discussing grammar). By that def, sexual expression IS gender expression...

No. Because gender isn't necessarily fixed. It can be fluid & nothing is stopping you from identifying differently.

I think he's referring to sex reassignment surgery or hormonal procedures with permanent effects. What do those change?

Exactly! That IS what he means. But he is too stupid to know the difference & is insisting that sex & gender are the same thing = my point

I was asking you an actual question. Per your definitions, do the surgeries or procedures change the child's sex, gender, or something else?

It changes their sex to correspond with their gender identity as per the recommended treatment in the DSM-V for gender dysphoria.
